Fresh pineapple juice is preferred for this margarita. I know I continue to stress the use of fresh juice, but it really makes all the difference. In choosing a fresh pineapple look for brightly colored, deep green leaves.

Avoid any with bruises, soft spots or mold. Choose a pineapple with some weight for it’s size. I have found pre cut pineapple at my local grocery store. This can save you time without the hassle of coring the pineapple yourself.

As many of you know blogging takes time, patience and dedication. I love blogging, but I have decided to reclaim my weekends. So I have decided to begin posting my margarita recipes on Friday. I thank you for your support.

I have to say I love canning with my jars, but I also love margaritas especially with pineapple. You have no idea I would like a margarita at the moment. Will have to try one of your variations, you have so many good ones.
